Retrak

Charity Registration No. 1122799

Our Vision:

To see street children realise their potential and discover their worth.

Our Mission Statement:

Through its work Retrak will enable street children in Africa to have a real alternative to life on the street. (Retrak currently has projects in Uganda, Ethiopia and Kenya).

Retrak believes that every child is a unique and valuable gift, and that safe family is the preferred environment for a child to grow up and develop. We believe that the community has a vital role to play in the protection and development of the life of its children.

Retrak’s services for street children include:

o Healthcare, refuge, education, employment opportunities and sports.

o Long term care as they rediscover their identity and purpose.

o Foster care placements and/or resettlement to their family/community of origin.

o Supporting the transition into a self sustaining community life.

o A voice that speaks on their behalf.

My story

Hi, thanks for visiting my page.

I am running the Brussels 20 Km this year, again hoping to raise money for Retrak. I completed my first 5 Km run on 10 January 2006 at the end of my start to run course organised by my local commune, Overijse (). Since completing the course, running has become a regular activity for me, together with my running partners, Georgia Read-Cutting and my Cocker Spaniel, Zoë. This year, I have two objectives: one is to improve my time and, secondly, to raise more that the 257 EUR I raised last year.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: RETRAK will receive your money faster and, if you are a taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Many thanks for your support.
